It stars Jennifer Garner, Maika Monroe, Cody Fern, Justin Kirk, Elisabeth Röhm, Goran Višnjić, Joely Fisher and Alicia Silverstone.

The film centers around the lives of a family who move to Palos Verdes, an affluent, coastal suburb of Los Angeles.

Phil (Justin Kirk) and Sandy Mason (Jennifer Garner) have moved to Palos Verdes, with their teenage twins, Medina (Maika Monroe) and Jim (Cody Fern).

Sandy's mood swings and inability to adjust to her new surroundings make her paranoid and difficult to handle.

She suspects Phil of having an affair, due to him lying about working late and the smell of Chanel perfume in his car.

A short while later Phil tells Medina while running on the beach that he wishes to move away because he has found love with Ava (Alicia Silverstone), the real estate agent he bought their home from.

Jim is found by the police and taken to the hospital, where it is revealed he may have suffered a psychotic break, due to the stresses at home and a combination of drugs.

She says that one found Jim passed out on the beach, and that his heart just stopped beating, because of a combination of prescription drugs he had stolen.

The Tribes of Palos Verdes is the soundtrack album for the film and was released on December 8, 2017 and features 10 songs by artists such as Jack Johnson, and Bahamas.

The website's critics consensus reads, "The Tribes of Palos Verdes serves up a minor – albeit alluringly atmospheric – variation on the coming-of-age story, led by a strong performance from Maika Monroe.
